Hi - i cannot seem to find you putting your email in the search box on FB.. is there another way?

yes please create one! ty

thanks! yes i saw it all in the welcome packet.. did cpr class week and did drug and background check. taking the clinical calculation exam next Monday. how long was the exam? i still have to buy books, scrubs, kit, etc. i am also wondering if there ...

has anyone fulfilled all of the req ~ cpr, drug test, etc? also for anyone who has taken the clinical calculation exam, how was it? how long was it? ty!

congrats @aspiringrn_!! i am not sure if there is a FB group yet.. feel free to create one!

where did you print out the booklist and pay for background check and drug screening?

I am taking it in July. has anyone bought books or supplies yet?

I have not heard that.. I've actually heard the opposite several times - where you obtain your ABSN from plays minimal (if no) role in obtaining a job.. it's more of the connection with clinical placements. As far as salaries, that has to do with the...

@Nata ~ I was deciding between the 2 as well.. I pretty much summed up my reasoning for choosing Pace here: https://allnurses.com/new-york-nursing/pace-accelerated-vs-921655.html

I just got a call from them too to see if I wanted to be off the waitlist and if I am still interested in the program.. I had already sent in my decline of being on the alternate list as I have accepted enrollment into another school, but seems like ...

they are still 2 completely different hospitals, and you will be on different units.

Yes, I did! I got Mt. Sinai and the VA Hospital. I am guessing the Mt. Sinai is the one in Manhattan ~ around 100th st. @wyw1013 - your email specified both the Manhattan and Queens locations?

@Sjac ~ I do know that the program is 4 semesters, and as you indicated, $21,236 per semester. So that's about 85k for flat tuition. As far as the other fees, I would clarify those with NYU (email/call them). You can probably speak with a financial a...

congrats @planemo! even though you are not going.. I know you had been waiting since the very beginning!

I just checked and it said I had a hold.. I am sure Tiffany is taking care of it - I would just email her if you have a q about registration.

casual / business casual.. whatever you would like. it's a small group meeting with about 5 other students with the academic advisor - it is not formal. i.e. no one I was in a group with dressed as though they were attending an interview, etc.

Hi.. np my friend did the Pace's ABSN program in Manhattan. At the group interview we asked the faculty where they do their clinicals, and they basically listed every major hospital in the city.

Hi.. Congrats on getting into all 3! I just recently made the decision to choose Pace over NYU. 1 - the 30k in cost difference is huge. 2 - Pace is a shorter program. 3 - A close friend of mine graduated from Pace's ABSN program a few years ago and w...

the letter I initially got from them said we had to confirm enrollment with them by the 28th - I am choosing not to go, but hopefully that means they will start to send out more acceptances as the initial deadline was yesterday!

about to start the process soon of looking into private loans.. hopefully should have more info this week.

I did receive financial award letters from 2 other schools. Not yet though from nyu (though I am not attending). Did you fill out a fafsa?

Nata... try to set up an appointment with the financial aid office at the school in which you are deciding to enroll. I know that generally, second-degree bachelors financial aid awards don't really compare with first-degree awards. dee, your financi...

ditto on getting the alternate paperwork yesterday... Going to send back to them my decline of being put on the wait list. At least they finally got back!

I agree with what some others have said... be practical with costs. For nursing, the 'name' does not matter.....whereas law schools and business schools pedigree plays much more of a role. try to get as much information as you can on a school's NCLEX...

I think you should get it soon, at least before the deadline at which you have to accept. Did you fill out the FAFSA for them?
